The Journey
Marc Cohen is a London-born entrepreneur who spent over two decades building, scaling, and ultimately exiting one of the most successful recruitment businesses in the industry.
As founder of ConSol Partners, Marc grew the company from a single desk to a global operation spanning 6 offices across 60+ countries, generating over $150M in cumulative sales. In 2019, he successfully exited at an 8.6x multiple — a testament to the enterprise value he systematically built.
Today, Marc works with recruitment founders at every stage of their journey, from early-stage entrepreneurs finding their footing to established leaders preparing for exit. His approach combines hard-won operational experience with a structured methodology that transforms the chaos of scaling into a repeatable system.
The ConSol Story
From startup to 8.6x exit
ConSol Partners started as a single-person operation with a phone and a database. Over 20 years, Marc built it into a global recruitment powerhouse spanning technology, finance, and executive search.
The journey wasn't linear. There were failed hires, lost clients, and moments of doubt. But by developing systems and practices that worked, Marc was able to build something that operated independently of him — and attracted acquirers willing to pay 8.6x revenue.
That system is now the MDC Growth System.

“I built ConSol with no playbook, no mentor, no system. Every lesson was earned the hard way. My mission now is to give other founders the clarity I wish I'd had.”

Philosophy
How I work with founders
Honest, Not Nice
You don't need cheerleading — you need truth. I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Systems, Not Magic
Success isn't mystical. It's the result of clear thinking, good systems, and consistent execution.
Partnership, Not Consulting
I'm invested in your success. This isn't about billable hours — it's about results.
